Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Harold Kelley's attribution theory suggests that consensus, distinctiveness, and consistency are the three key factors that affect how we attribute causes to someone's behavior. In this scenario, everyone in the movie theater laughed at the same joke, indicating that the behavior is high in consensus, as it is a common reaction to the same stimulus. Therefore, the best choice is A (high in consensus). The other options do not apply to the situation - distinctiveness and consistency are not relevant in this case, and there is no indication of low spontaneity.
